After paramedics said they would take John A. Wallin to a local hospital to treat a badly cut ear, Hubbard volunteered to put Wallin's groceries away. He was surprised when he saw the 77-year-old Korean War veteran's run-down living conditions.

Last week, preparations for the cleanup began. A local landscaper trimmed trees, volunteers power washed three buildings on the property, including Wallin's home, while others arranged to donate a car – not driven since 2003 – to charity.

wow, this is a 2+ year old story but a good indeed. This is a good example of something that I bet the one who started the ball rolling had no intentions of any popularity for himself. As we all know, glory hogs may receive glory but it normally leaves a sour taste in the public's mouth.

Have you thought about any ideas you could do or an outdoor power equipment company could do to get media attention and do a good deed like that article to someone within the community? What kind of ideas would tie in and work?

In the past dealers have donated a number of pieces of equipment to tornado or hurricane victims to help with clean up. Another idea would be to allow those same victims the use of the equipment for free or a reduced rate.
